a vague feeling of worry

A light but constant feeling of worry or nervousness, often when you think something may be wrong or may go wrong.

Padron ng paggamit: feel uneasiness about [something]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes use *uneasiness* when they mean simple physical lack of comfort, where *discomfort* or *inconvenience* would be more natural (e.g., "the uneasiness of this chair" sounds odd; better: "the discomfort of this chair"). They also confuse it with strong fear; in many cases *fear* or *anxiety* may be better if the feeling is intense rather than mild.
Mga kasingkahulugan
anxiety (Often stronger and more clinical; can suggest a medical condition, while "uneasiness" is usually milder and vaguer.) | disquiet (Slightly more formal and literary; often used for serious or widespread concern.) | apprehension (Focuses more on fear about something in the future; "uneasiness" can be more general.)
Mga kasalungat
calm (Describes a relaxed emotional state without worry or nervousness.) | reassurance (Refers to words or actions that remove or prevent uneasiness.)

social nervousness or awkwardness

A feeling of being nervous and not relaxed with other people, when the situation feels awkward.

Padron ng paggamit: uneasiness between [people/group]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners often use *shy* or *shyness* where *uneasiness* is better. *Shyness* is a personal trait, while *uneasiness* is a temporary feeling that can affect anyone in a specific situation.
Mga kasingkahulugan
awkwardness (Highlights the uncomfortable, clumsy feeling in social situations rather than inner worry.) | embarrassment (Often stronger and more focused on feeling ashamed; *uneasiness* can be quieter and less intense.)
Mga kasalungat
ease (Describes feeling relaxed and natural in a social setting, without tension.) | comfort (Implies feeling relaxed and confident with others, the opposite of social uneasiness.)

A light bad feeling in the body, for example in the stomach, that is not strong pain but still feels uncomfortable.

Padron ng paggamit: uneasiness in [a part of the body]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners may overuse *uneasiness* for all kinds of physical problems. For clear pain or strong sickness, words like *pain*, *ache*, or *nausea* are usually better. *Uneasiness* sounds relatively mild.
Mga kasingkahulugan
discomfort (Very close in meaning; more general and more common for physical sensations.) | queasiness (More specifically about feeling like you might vomit; *uneasiness* can be broader.)
Mga kasalungat
comfort (Describes a state of physical ease without pain or unpleasant sensations.) | well-being (A general state of feeling physically healthy and comfortable.)
